The pattern is called "Winter Magic," and I found it in the December issue of Quilter's World (available online).

Angelina fibers are thin angel-hair-like fibers that you spread out and iron with a cool iron. They fuse to themselves creating a crystalline sheet of "fabric" that you can sew like anything else. They come in different colors and sheens. I got mine from "Embellishment Village" online.

The hot fix crystals are little rhinestones with glue on their flat side. You hit them with an iron to activate the glue, and they stick to whatever you're ironing them to. I forget where I got them, but you can find them online by simply doing a search for "hot fix crystals."

No, it was not hard to do. The instructions went on at length about getting the grid of blocks straight, and it just wasn't that hard.

I ended up drawing my own lines and then just eye-balling it. It is a quilt-as-you-go project. Getting the applique tree enlarged was the most difficult part. The machines generally don't enlarge by 450% (as was required), so I increased it 225% and then again by 200%. It has a lot of steps, but they are not difficult.
When you need to enlarge, use posterazor.
You just scan the picture in, tell it what size you want it to be and the amount of overlap and it will do it for you. It's awesome.
